The Path to Freedomism: How Earlier Religions Led to It
Throughout history, many religions have explored karma, personal responsibility, and liberation. Each of these faiths contributed to humanity’s understanding of cause and effect, but none of them fully grasped the ultimate truth that only the God who rules this universe is the final decider of what is truly moral and immoral. Freedomism is the next step, acknowledging that morality is not for humans to dictate, but for the Creator alone to establish. At the heart of Freedomism is the belief that karma determines reincarnation, but unlike earlier religions that saw it as a fixed law, Freedomism reveals that karma is a tool used by the divine to guide souls toward maturity. Those who accumulate negative karma are not merely punished—they are reincarnated into new universes, ruled by different gods, with tests uniquely designed to shape their growth. The goal is not endless suffering but eventual refinement, leading to heaven.
How Earlier Religions Led to Freedomism
1. Hinduism (Founded by Ancient Sages, No Single Founder)
- Hinduism introduced the concept of karma, where actions in this life determine the conditions of the next.
- It emphasized dharma (duty) and moksha (liberation).
- However, Hinduism treated morality as a set of social and religious obligations, rather than something determined solely by the Creator.
- How It Preceded Freedomism: Hinduism laid the foundation for karma but failed to recognize that karma is not a blind law—it is a divine tool used to refine souls across multiple universes.
2. Buddhism (Founded by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha
- The Buddha rejected Hinduism’s rigid structures and sought freedom from suffering through self-discipline and detachment.
- He taught that enlightenment (nirvana) is the ultimate goal, and that karma is a force shaping one‘s rebirth.
- How It Preceded Freedomism: Buddhism correctly saw that freedom is about self-realization, but it did not recognize that each soul is being actively guided by the Creator through reincarnation into different realities, designed to refine them.
3. Jainism (Reformed by Mahavira, the Last Tirthankara)
- Jainism took karma to the extreme, seeing it as a physical substance that binds the soul. Liberation required absolute non-violence (ahimsa) and extreme discipline.
- How It Preceded Freedomism: Jainism was correct that karma affects the soul deeply, but it mistakenly believed that liberation is achieved purely through self-effort. In reality, the Creator uses karma to shape the soul’s journey across different universes, refining it for heaven.
4. Sikhism (Founded by Guru Nanak)
- Sikhism embraced oneness with God, equality, and service, while teaching that divine grace could override karma.
- It saw karma as important but not absolute God’s will was ultimately higher.
- How It Preceded Freedomism: Sikhism came closest to the truth by recognizing divine authority over karma. However, it did not fully grasp that karma is not only shaping life within this universe, but also determining a soul’s passage through other universes with different divine rulers, each adjusting the test based on how the person lived.
